false 6219362 1 A father’s love. A shattering secret. A summer that will change lives forever. In the town of Rocket, Washington—a summer playground for windsurfers and tourists—a windless summer ignites fear as businesses and residents move away.

Swirling around Tom are lives much like his own, townspeople yearning for wind but also for hope, even love. Charlene, a mail clerk, helps care for Tom’s daughter while a secret gnaws at her heart...Lauren, the town vet, has fallen for Tom, who barely notices...and newspaper editor Hap is hatching a foolish plan to save his town.

But while tourists descend on Rocket and the the town shows new signs of life, the truth about Tom’s motel and the death of his wife—as well as the secret hopes and fears of everyone around him—are exposed in ways that are both surprising and inevitable... 6400049 19 5 2009 Windless Summer total:54|5:11|4:14|3:17|2:10|1:2| 54 184 197 19 5 1 false false Fri Sep 11 10:44:49 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 07:48:06 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 10:44:49 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jun 26 09:20:55 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 10:22:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Aug 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 10:38:10 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 15:09:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 15:09:02 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 15:14:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Oct 04 18:04:45 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 18:04:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Aug 04 13:32:41 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 11:06:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 16:32:56 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 06:07:07 -0700 2009
